The Evil Genius Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Great book. Hated the ending (only that I think it was ended clumsily). I think Stephen King has a hard problem ending books..he writes like 800 pages and then decides to end a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Louis CK just premiered a new show on his website. It's called Horace and Pete. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm interested. I'm binge watching Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown. I had no idea how good it was until now. This is truly incredible television, a reminder of how powerful the medium can be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velocet Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Well Stoney26, I remember when this thread started and here it is nearly 3 years, 900-odd posts and 24 pages later I'd have to say that you have to be the record holder for Most Completely Answered Message Board Question Thread. I mean it's like a damn database at this point. Best part is, let's say you hear of a show and wonder if it's any good. Just look in here for a mini review from names you can trust. Seriously. One could go to a board where you don't know the crew at all and how much weight can you give to those voices that are far more anonymous than these to you? Doubt there are any create-a-buzz shill trolls talking about how this or that show is good or not hereabouts. velocet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Been watching the new show Lucifer on Fox and me and the wife are digging it. Pretty cool, the devil decides to take a vacation and leave hell and live among the people of Los Angeles. Ends up working with a police detective immune to his charm. Also, for those that have Showtime, you gotta check out Billions. That show is cool as ****. About an average Joe that ends up being a billionaire from buying/selling stocks and the SEC and the US attorney for the southern district in NY trying to take him down. Great show so far.

Jumbo Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Billions is great so far---great cast. Finally watched season one of Peaky Blinders---liked it a lot, will watch the rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinssRvA Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Watched a couple Amazon Prime shows the past few weeks. The man in the high castle and mad dogs. Both on Amazon. both were pretty good but I think man in the high castle is a bit better. Completely different genres, but worth a look.

Lucifer is based on Neil Gaiman's Vertigo work. Billions is ****ing awesome so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Started binging on 12 Monkeys. Since it's a time travel show, does it actually matter what order you watch it in? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'm about half way through the tenth show from season 1 now. Sweet. I thought they did an excellent job transitioning it from a movie to a TV series. Season 2 has been great too, from the few episodes I've seen so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Billions is great so far---great cast.

Billions is good too. do you watch Outlander, Jumbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently finished the binge and got caught up (going for the double entendre there). velocet Yeah, I watched the first couple of episodes, then got side tracked. Definitely going to pick it up again. So many shows still left to watch for me though. Wynonna Earp, Penny Dreadful, Jessica Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 welcome aboard the Peaky train. Cillian is the man. and Anabelle Wallis is hawt. Billions is good too. do you watch Outlander, Jumbo? No, I've wondered about it---you recommend it? #1 on my need to get to list is The Americans. Caught the first episode of Kirkman's "Outcast" on Cinemax. Dark and darker---looks good. Saw Cinemax has another one coming too that might be interesting--"Quarry." Did you ever watch Black Sails? I followed it for first two seasons but dropped Starz for awhile. It was a good one.

The Evil Genius Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 12 monkeys is what syfy channel should be showing. And if you didn't watch the first season already, definitely recommend the Expanse. S2 is happening in early 2017. Best sci-fi space show in quite a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm constantly amazed it doesn't get more recognition. It's top tier for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Every time I see a trailer for Angie Tribeca I want to cry laughing. See 92% on rotten tomatoes, is this as funny it looks? Bout to check out anyway, just throwing it out there. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed it for first two seasons but dropped Starz for awhile. It was a good one. yep, I'm caught up on Black Sails. it get slow at times, but when it's good, it's great. Outcast will be dvr'ing tonight I believe. I'd highly recommend Outlander. it just got approved for two additional seasons. my wife's favorite show, and a top 5 for 5 me. They film it entirely in Scotland and England, lots of neat castles and forests. 18th century Scots vs English. sitting at 96% on rotten, it's one of the highest rated premium shows. and the actress who plays the main character, Catriona Balfe, is a former Victorias Secret model and drop dead gorgeous.

Chew Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Outcast has drawn me in. First episode was pretty good. Heavy on the demon. Wr9ttwn by the guy who writes Walking Dead I believe Edited June 8, 2016 by Chew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
